Total number of isomers considering both structural and stereoisomers, of cyclic ethers with the molecular formula C4H8O is:
Open in App
Solution
One of the four membered cyclic struture exists as pair of enatiomers, contributing 2 to the total. Two of the three membered cyclic structure exist as pair of enantiomers, contributing 4 to the total. Also one of the three membered structures exhibits geometrical isomerism adding 1 to the total structure.
